At the beginning of COVID I lost a friend—not to

At the beginning of COVID I lost a friend—not to the virus but just in life. It was really unexpected for me and I still don’t feel the greatest about it. But something that my best friend @clumpsofmascara said to me has stuck with me... During this time, not everyone will make it as friends, spouses or loved ones because it’s a time of cleansing.
.
But just because it’s cleansing time and time for growth in sight doesn’t mean that it’s easy. I think the Universe is showing us some hard things to digest and encouraging us to sit down and get our lessons.
.
Trust me. This is hard—I detail my own experience in my first book that I’m editing now. But i want you to know that you aren’t alone despite feeling that way.
.
My greatest lesson during this time has been that we can be closer than ever at a distance and what you nurture will grow. This has been seen in people’s new found love of plants (I love it!!!!) and the relationships that we have that are sustaining. That’s not to say that you should release friends that you haven’t been in contact during this time—we deal with things in different ways. But I encourage you all to show up for each other in the way you may need it too.
.
FaceTimes, phone conversations, social distancing wine dates, and Zoom parties have been my go to. But the people who talk to me in my private messages are also a big part of showing up too.
.
Lastly, if you do feel alone and like you aren’t sure you have someone you can unwind with, please know my inbox is open. And if you don’t know what to say, just drop a 🍍🍍🍍and I got you.

Happy Sunday loves! . I don’t know who needs to

Happy Sunday loves!
.
I don’t know who needs to hear this outside of me but what will be for you is already yours or coming to you. There’s no need to rush the process, compare yourself to those who seem more advanced than you are, or be jealous. Your time is coming if it’s not already here. If your sight is filled with envy and anger, you won’t be able to see when your blessing have arrived.

Be blessed and arrest #BreonnaTaylor’s murderers. 💋💋💋

Are you ready to BBQ? Ad.
Full disclosure: BBQ’s are my favorite. There’s nothing like enjoying outside with good food, good people, and great weather—especially when you don’t have to empty your pockets to make it happen. @dollargeneral has everything you need to set up for a perfect outdoors event with your family.
One of my fave things to do is make grilled s’mores. Here’s a super easy recipe for you:
Ingredients:
Graham Crackers
Chocolate
Marshmallows
Directions:
1. Crumble the graham crackers and layer them at the bottom of the dish.
2. Layer marshmallows on top.
3. Put chocolate pieces on top.
4. Grill on high for 7 minutes or until marshmallows are toasted.
5. Enjoy!

Today’s a hard day for me. . It’s not one thin

Today’s a hard day for me.
.
It’s not one thing in particular but just the constant piling up of things coupled with those feelings of insecurity and that I’m just not enough. Sometimes things happen that highlight my work on myself isn’t complete and I’m left in tears.
.
Today’s book for nap time was “Oh The Places You’ll Go” because sometimes we need the simplest form of a reminder that life is filled with ups and downs and there’s a 98 & 3/4 chance we will succeed.
.
Here’s to children’s books schooling us adults on life lessons one rhyme at a time.
.
Oh, and i finally painted my toes.

#DearSummerBody . You are amazing. Not in the esot

#DearSummerBody
.
You are amazing. Not in the esoteric sense of the word but absolutely in the literal sense. Before I celebrate all the beauty I now recognize, I need to apologize.
.
I’m sorry for my ill thoughts. I’m sorry for starving you in hopes that you would one day become what society deems the standard of beauty. I’m sorry for hiding you and not honoring you with proper fuel. I’m sorry for how long it took to appreciate everything you are versus everything you weren’t that I wanted you to be.
.
Not only have you carried my three beautiful children, but you’ve carried me from state to state. You’ve healed yourself from things like chicken pox, the flu, common colds and more. You are strong and get stronger everyday.
.
My dear summer, winter, spring, fall body, my love for you is no longer seasonal so thank you for loving me even when I struggled to love you.
.
Xoxo,
Me

I worked out this morning giving me 4 completed wo

I worked out this morning giving me 4 completed workouts this week and I feel beautiful. I wanted to take a picture because I simply felt beautiful and being a plus sized Black woman who has struggled with feeling this way, i wanted to share this.
But then my naked baby came running over and I hit the button so my timer would go off and capture whatever it saw.
Love.
Becoming a mother has made me a better woman. Before I had Mini, I was in a bad place. I partied hard. Drank harder and I was just really mad. I was in a marriage that wasn’t meant for me so I left it. Even though I wanted it over, it was still so hard for me.
Thinking back to that place feels like a lifetime ago. It’s bananas that it was even me. I love my life with all the challenges it has. I love my kids, the ones the doctor told me i would be able to have. I love my husband.
But most of all, I love myself. I love the woman that I’ve become. The journey hasn’t been filled with rainbows and unicorns but there have been some and for that, I’m grateful.

Happy Father’s Day to the two men in my life tha

Happy Father’s Day to the two men in my life that exemplify what it means to be a great dad, to love without condition, and to protect.
.
My dad loves do very hard. He loves his family more than anything in the world and he’s made it known. I have so many memories of him as a child but one of the greatest lessons i learned from him was the value of practicing a thing.
.
Not practicing until it was perfect but practicing with an open mind to see where it will take you. This is evidenced in how often and hard I work at practicing with writing, sewing, everything really. I’ve loved seeing how our relationship has changed to being more friends now that we’re adults. Having him come over and hang out with us at the house or pick the kids up and hang with them has been my favorite thing ever. He’s such an amazing grandfather and father.
.
And my husband... the love of my life. He has a great father of his own so it’s no surprise that he’s amazing. He’s hands on and has his own way of doing this parenting thing that have his children absolutely in love with him.
.
There are so many things i want our kids to learn from him but I think the biggest thing is his heart. He loves without condition and is the kindest person you’ll ever meet. He leads with love and really gives his all in every role that he has.
.
My kids and I couldn’t be more blessed than we are to have them as the fathers in our lives.

🎶 It’s my anniversary! 🎶 . On June 21, 201

🎶 It’s my anniversary! 🎶 .
On June 21, 2014, I said “I Do” to my very own McDreamy. Over these past 6 years, I’ve kept my vows:
• I rarely share my food or drink
• He’s been having more fun than ever
• We’ve honored each other with the truths of our hearts
• We’ve led with love in doing all things.
.
Yesterday we were talking and I said it’s hard for me to remember a number for our anniversary because it doesn’t seem to encompass the experience that we’ve had in these short six years.
.
When we got married, we were both working in corporate full time. I was 7 months pregnant with abc and we had Mini. We lived a nice, comfortable life. And then I shook shit up by walking out of Corporate. We struggled hard with money. But our marriage? Only grew stronger.
.
Being quarantined for XX days has shown both of us the solid foundation that we established in the beginning. I REALLY like my husband. Like past the ooey-gooey love—because I feel that too. But he thinks such amazing thoughts. We have such great talks. And I’m excited that my forever is with him.
.
The only way he’ll see this is by looking over my shoulder as I type but he is the love of my life. He is my love song. He is my forever choice.
